I was hoping to hear from kingstiedye about the Rat Fink but not even he has been hanging around. Must be a fun weekend. But wait I know you have fun. Thank you for your note so I wouldn't be all alone here. Where are all the people? ============================== OK back to posting so I can get on to the Wish List. When we visited hang10tiki in Las Vegas he gave Dan a tiki bowl that had a chip. He knew I started my whole tiki career repairing Dan's mugs. So I whipped out some Elmer's wood filler and filled and sanded the chip. Next I painted it and then when it was dry I sprayed it with varnish. Good as new. Thank you so much hang10tiki. Dan loves his new bowl. On the same trip we found some more items that needed help. This is a different bowl. There was a chip on the arm. I told Dan that since I'd have to paint her anyway I might as well get rid of her black eyes. I changed her to look more like the vintage bowls rather than the China version. At hang10tikis home he showed us a Treasure Craft guy playing a drum. Dan back home had the girl that went with us. hang10tiki was able to find the same drum player on line and we purchased it. The bottom was missing a piece so I filled sanded and touched it up. Dan is ecstatic to have a set. We also found this United Airlines tiki. Someone had livened it up with some paint. Blue on the body and red and white on the head. So I went to work to blend in the blue and white paint colors. Dan said he could live with the red. The white is covered. The logo was half brown and half black. I covered the black so that it was easier to read. Here I was painting with a pointed stick to get into the tiny crevices. All done and ready to display. ============================== I had a coconut bowl left over so I thought I'd so a Should Have Been bowl for Dan. I fashioned the head of a peanut mug. I worked back and forth making the bowl a coconut and carving on the face. All done. Three dents finished it off. =================================== Next I thought I'd take this fogcutter mug and make a Moai. I just started adding clay being careful not to add air bubbles. I thought he was going well but when I turned him sideways he looked like John Malkovich the actor and not a Moai. Just then on TV came a show on Easter Island so I didn't have to go in search of a model. It was the nose that was so wrong. So I was able to look right at the real ones and to fix the nose of AMAZING MOAI. I did this once before on a Tiki Bob. On the back I did the start and finish for a maze. I worked out a really difficult maze. So if you think someone has had too much to drink they have to figure out the maze super fast before you let them leave. Another mug for sale. ==================================== I sure am having a lot of clay days and every one is fun. Thank you for watching. Wish List photos tomorrow. Cheers, Wendy
